Description
By Al J. Mooney, MD, Catherine Dold, and Howard Eisenberg
#2193 The Recovery Book provides a direct and easy-to-follow road map to every step in the recovery process, from the momentous decision to quit to the emotional, physical, and spiritual issues that arise along the way. Its comprehensive and effective advice speaks to people with addiction, their loved ones, and addiction professionals who need a proven, trusted resource and a supportive voice.
This edition features the revolutionary Recovery Zone System, which divides a life in recovery into three chronological zones and provides guidance on exactly what to do in each zone:
- First is the Red Zone, where the reader is encouraged to stop everything, activate their recovery and save their life.
- Next is the Yellow Zone, where the reader can begin to rebuild a life that was torn apart by addiction.
- Finally, the reader reaches the Green Zone, where he can enjoy a life a recovery and help others.
Readers also learn how to use the Recovery Zone ReCheck, a simple, yet very effective relapse prevention tool. The Recovery Zone System works hand-in-hand with the 12-step philosophy and all other recovery methods.
In addition, The Recovery Book covers new knowledge about addiction mechanisms and neuroplasticity, explaining how alcohol and drugs alter the brain. The authors outline a simple daily practice, called TAMERS, that helps people to use those same processes to remold their brains around recovery, eventually making sobriety a routine way of life.
